even the things you cant do in fl that you can do in cubase can be improvised. things such as sidechaining a compressor to duck a bass note that hits on a kick. in FL you can use the peak controller or you can manually duck fruity compressor's threshold using the automation window. as long as you dont use any gain it wont colour the sound and you can stick it in the signal chain after the proprietory compressor you use.
if you cant do it in FL just by looking at it, theres always an alternative way of doing it if you use your loaf. |
FL Studio seems like a pretty good deal so far, I havn't had a lot of time to explore it due to my work schedule but what I have messed around with I've been pleasantly surprised with so far.
I was doing everything via hardware synths and sequencers and a hardware digital multitracker before (Korg D1600) so I think this is definitely a step up and in the right direction.
Attaching effects (like compression) to channels with the Korg was pretty limited, if I wanted to add multiple effects to a channel it took a little bit of track bouncing (depending on how many effects I was adding).
I was skeptical about the sound quality with the way some people talk about FL Studio on these message forums, but so far like I said, I've been pleasantly surprised.
Granted, it does have some cheesy samples, but than again, so do my hardware synth's.
